George Wiltshire started business in 1934 in his home village of Whitley. He built the village stores, houses, and local farm buildings, continuing until the outbreak of war. In 1946, after Army service, work comprised renovations and improvements to local farms, house building, and new estate developments in Whitley and Atworth.
Richard Wiltshire was trained in the family firm and at Bristol. From the 1960s he has undertaken: Residential development: Listed building works and conservation projects: Commercial buildings and associated civil engineering work. The firm's reputation for quality work has been achieved thanks to the skills of long-term, directly employed craftsmen working as a team.
In building the old adage applies, if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well. Building projects are never as simple or straight forward as they may first appear. Today, a host of legal, financial, regulatory, and technical specialists can have their input, confusing decision taking on any scheme.

Services
When considering a new heating system, or an upgrade, we recommend a heating loss survey. The survey will show the estimated heat lost through the various elements, walls, windows, floors, roof, and ventilation losses. The annual running costs can then be estimated together with costs of different fuels and also the payback period for improvements in insulation or heat recovery systems.
All developments have been designed and constructed by the firm with a strong emphasis on solid traditional construction with low heating and maintenance costs. The walls of our houses built thirty years ago have insulated walls which met the required standards until 2002. Our present insulation standards are 35% higher.
We have undertaken restoration, adaptation, and extensions to listed buildings on a Design and Build basis. Similar work has also been completed with Architect supervision. In working on old buildings we try to define the original structure and the methods of construction. Understanding this and the reason for alterations over the years, will lead to successful restoration.
